Skin that has gone red, hot and sore because you stayed in the sun too long. It is not a burn from fire — nothing was hot enough to burn you — it is damage from the light itself, which is why you can get it on a cool, windy day at the beach and be surprised. The pain usually arrives hours after you come inside, not while you are out there, and bad sunburn can blister and peel.
